Okay, today’s show is made up of the weird - Reggie Watts is a musician with one downright crazy instrument - his voice on loopback. Except he improvises it. And Andrew Stanley (along with Damian Clark) have no idea [...]

It’s the weekend! Fringe Sunday tomorrow on the meadows, and of course the return of the Sunday Supplement here at the Edinburgh Fringe Show. I’ll be spending most of tomorrow catching up on the interviews and updating the diary [...]

[Review] Some Paintings of Life by Leif Sylvester

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

You get to the gallery and the first impression is of a quiet and nice neighbourhood. Then you enter. Up to the first floor you are immediately hit by the bright, lively and simplistic paintings of Leif Sylvester, a Danish painter and all round artist. It is indeed a very fitting exhibition for a festival, [...]

[Review] Comic Abuse

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

Go see this show if for no other reason than the pleasure seeing three promising youngsters. It’s like seeing a clip of Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie and the likes from their turn at the Fringe: skills and charms oozing from every poor and careers in the making from the word go.
Robert Peel, JackWhitehall and Charlotte [...]

[Review] Jimmy James: Divas Dead or Alive

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

Flamboyant, engaging, jaw-dropping, ascerbic: just some of the adjectives that spring to mind when you see this diminutive star with the giant personality. From Tina Turner to Judy Garland, Cher to Neil Diamond, Jimmy sailed from one diva identity to the next with shimmering ease. His Eartha Kit was unmistakable, his Billie [...]

[Review] Reginald D Hunter - Pride and Prejudice (and Niggas)

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

Hunter is an engaging and skilfull storyteller, and this show had people rolling in their seats more or less from start to finish. He’s an African-American now living in London, and was good-naturedly resigned to regularly being mistaken for one of (the small number of) the UK’s other famous black men, accused every other [...]

Review] My Name Is Rachel Corrie

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

This is the one-woman portrayal of a real-life tragedy: how a young American peace activist died tried trying to help the beleagered Palestinians. The drama traces the personal journey which took Rachel to Palestine, and ultimately to her brutal end under an Israeli bulldozer. A bleak rubble-filled urban backdrop, coupled with the [...]
